Locking Doors With A Key
You can insert the key with either side up. To lock the
door, turn the key to the left. To unlock the door, turn
the key to the right. Refer to “Body Lubrication” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for maintenance informa-
tion.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the
ignition and the ignition switch position is in the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position, sounds a signal to remove the
key.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Opera-
tion is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses ignition keys which have an embedded
electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle.NOTE:
A key which has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the
ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.
If the Vehicle Security Light is on after the key is turned
to the MAR/ON/RUN position, it indicates that there
is a problem with the electronics.
CAUTION!
• Always remove the Sentry Key from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
• The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not com-
patible with some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors and
decklid for unauthorized entry and the ignition for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers the
alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will prevent the
vehicle from starting. It will also emit an acoustic signal
and flash the park lights, and taillights.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:
1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid (perimeter protection);
2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned to MAR ON/RUN);
3. Cutting of the battery leads;
4. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and
visual signal (flashing of the direction indicators for
several seconds). The alarm activation modes may vary
according to the market. There is a maximum number
of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the
system returns to normal operation.
